Hoi, Today or tomorrow, time permitting I will blog about how universities can check what alumni and employees are known for them in Wikipedia (ie Wikidata). At the moment I know the following: 195085 people http://tools.wmflabs.org/autolist/autolist1.html?q=CLAIM%5B31%3A5%5D%20and%20claim%5B69%5D with an alma mater, men http://tools.wmflabs.org/autolist/autolist1.html?q=CLAIM%5B31%3A5%5D%20AND%20CLAIM%5B21%3A6581097%5D%20%20and%20claim%5B69%5D 158649 women http://tools.wmflabs.org/autolist/autolist1.html?q=CLAIM%5B31%3A5%5D%20AND%20CLAIM%5B21%3A6581072%5D%20and%20claim%5B69%5D 29059 geen sex 7377.
It is very easy to provide the same information per university. It allows for editathons and special interest for the female alumni. It is for you to decide how best to use this. For your information, the Reasonator will show up to 500 linked to the item of the university .... DO REMEMBER that alumni or professors may be known in other languages... I blogged about a professor of the University of Utrecht recently... Thanks, GerardM

Dear colleagues,
I need your help.
In a weeks time, I am invited by the Norwegian Science Council to meet them and lecture and discuss about how they can nurture and contribute to the Wikipedia.
The Science Council (Forskningsrådet) organizes all the universities, colleges, and institutes sector as regards research, through funding and program evalution.
The task is that they will first produce a "do-it-your-self-kit" to scientists and researchers on how they can fulfill they obligation of educating the public. Thereafter, they will work more targetedly with pinpointing and contributing directly to the Wikipedia, probably Commons too.
Our good partners in the Arts Council Norway have already worked with us for a long time on their public outreach obligation, and will take part in the meeting and speak about how they have nurtured the outreach of cultural heritage through Wikipedia and Commons.
QUESTION:
Where can I find good overviews of:
- Examples of universities or institutions who have "used" Wikipedia to
educate the public
Examples of professions or individual researchers who have done the same
Examples of formal co-operations between science and Wikimedia movement,
as reference
- Examples from your chapter of co-operation with science / universities
Thank you all,
Erlend
